From the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library here in the wilds of Connecticut, this is obscure

season two, Frankenstein.

I am your host, your friend, your ear lover, literary mansplainer in chief and a geoginologist.

Michael Ian Black excited as always to continue our tale.

This is as I record the final week of the Trump administration, the new administration,

all set to come together and become inaugurated.

So this volume of history is closing or at the very least pausing because I do not think

any of us know where this journey is taking us.

That is the thing with history unfolding.

We know not where we are heading and similarly we know not where we are heading here with

Frankenstein.

Maybe some of you have read it before and you have some sense, I do not.

I do not know what fate befalls poor Justine Moritz as she waits for the magistrates to

pronounce her fate.

Elizabeth, cousin Elizabeth, more than cousin Elizabeth, has stood up to speak in her defense

as she has tried for the murder of poor William.

Elizabeth maintains that Justine is innocent.

Of course, Victor Frankenstein also says that Justine is innocent, neither of them have

really any proof one way or the other other than the testimony of her character which

seems high.

Will that be enough for the court to acquit we do not know?

Elizabeth has just finished speechifying there in the court.
